Rhythms of a Forgotten Jazz

Rhythms of a Forgotten Jazz responds to Ctrl + Z by staging a live act of cultural repair. While history cannot be undone, erasure can be interrupted. Through music, testimony, and archival projection, the performance re-examines the legacy of Tete Mbambisa and South African jazz as a living archive. The work embodies reparative curatorial practice by creating space for witnessing, slow listening, and intergenerational dialogue offering a return, and a substantive re-inscription of memory into the present.

Musician: Tete Mbambisa & Filmmaker: Hlumela Matika
